Support during COVID-19

Whether you have an existing volunteer programme or are managing volunteers for the first time due to COVID-19, Dún Laoghaire Rathdown Volunteer Centre is here to help.

We know that local organisations are having to react differently to the current emergency – some are pivoting to provide frontline services, others have had to wind down operations. Regardless of your current situation, we are here to help and support.

Is your organisation already or thinking about involving volunteers on the frontline?


We have developed a suite of ready-to-go volunteer roles and created a section about managing volunteers during an emergency.

Have you considered how volunteers can support your organisation from home during COVID-19?
  • Interested in offering your regular activities in new ways? A volunteer could help bring your organisation online
  • Had to wind down your regular activities? Use this time to build and strengthen your organisation – skilled volunteers could help with policy development, website creation, communications strategies and more.
